Subject: next-20191108: qemu arm64: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

Hi,

I'm seeing the following warning when I'm booting an arm64 allmodconfig
kernel [1] on linux-next tag next-20191108, is this anything you've seen
before ?


The code seems to have introduced that is f0ad0860d01e ("ipv4: ipmr:
support multiple tables") in 2010 and the warning was added reacently
28875945ba98 ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU reader checking").
